It's hot! Need a place to cool down?

The town of Middlebury has opened the Rec. building on Creek Road as a cooling shelter, Monday and Tuesday, 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Additionally, the town pool will be open to the public on Monday (1 to 8 p.m.) and Tuesday (1 to 5:30 p.m.) with a suggested donation of $1 (not required).

In anticipation of the upcoming extreme high temperature/heat index emergency declaration for Monday and Tuesday of next week - the Middlebury Town Pool has been designated a municipal cooling center. Our normal schedule, except for day camp use, will be suspended from 1:00pm until 8:00pm on Monday and 1:00pm-5:30pm on Tuesday so the whole community can seek relief from the heat. To help cover our costs, a suggested $1.00/per person donation will be greatly appreciated but no one will be turned away. Our normal pool schedule will return to normal on Wednesday. Additionally, the Middlebury Recreation Center at 154 Creek Rd has also been declared an official cooling center and will be open and fully air conditioned.

Our Story

The Addison Independent was founded in 1946 with the closing of the Middlebury Register. The AI has always been a family-owned independent newspaper. Current publisher/editor Angelo Lynn has been at the helm for more than 20 years. The Addison Independent is as much a part of the local community as many of the institutions covered on the front page. Being a community newspaper means that the AI's award-winning editorial staff covers local events in a way that's different from a large metropolitan or regional daily. The aim is to tell readers about their friends and neighbors and about events in local government, schools, sports and business that affect how readers live. The AI also provides readers everything they need to know about local entertainment and events. Just a note: A like isn't an endorsement — we just want to know what you're up to!
